Apptoide Now Available in EU for Free

Feb 24,2025 Author: Patrick

Aptoide, the independent app store, is now freely available on iOS for EU users. While claiming to be the first free alternative app store on iOS, the Epic Games Store technically launched first. However, Aptoide might be the first general, third-party storefront.

Apple's tight control over its iOS ecosystem has historically limited alternative app stores. However, following legal battles and the Epic Games Store's iOS launch, Aptoide has entered the market.

We previously covered Aptoide's beta in mid-2024. Now, all EU iOS users can download it. Although Aptoide claims to be the first alternative, the Epic Games Store's earlier release should be noted.

Aptoide's key differentiator appears to be its broader app selection, extending beyond gaming. A unique feature allows users to choose specific app versions, a capability previously exclusive to Android users.

Despite potential initial skepticism, Aptoide's claim as the first truly independent iOS storefront holds merit, particularly considering its beta period. Unlike the Epic Games Store, which, while third-party, is still operated by a major industry player, Aptoide offers a genuinely independent alternative.

The arrival of Aptoide is significant news for those following the Epic v Apple legal battle and the subsequent opening of the iOS market. It remains to be seen if Aptoide can attract users dissatisfied with Apple's App Store.
